ACNE HACK: WASH YOUR PILLOWCASE
ACNE HACK: WASH YOUR PILLOWCASE
High-quality skincare can make a world of difference in the way you look and feel. But if you’ve been consistently following a Rodan + Fields Regimen and still have some acne, redness or irritation, you may need to make a change — namely, your pillowcase.
The general consensus is that you should wash your pillowcases once a week. But if you have sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin, washing it 2 or 3 times a week can make a difference.
Think about it: Your hair collects more dirt and oil than any other part of your body — and where does it all collect at night? On your pillowcase! Putting your clean, fresh face against all this grime for eight hours a night can clog your pores and cause irritation. Then there are dust mites, the little critters that like to inhabit pillows. They can lay eggs on your pillowcase and, if you’re allergic to them, they can cause itchy skin and rashes.
Here are some other tips when it comes to your pillowcase:
MAKE SURE DUST MITES BITE THE DUST. Wash your pillowcase — and the rest of your bedding — in hot water at least once a week.
USE A GENTLE DETERGENT. Look for detergents that are allergy-free, made for sensitive skin and free of harsh chemicals.
AN OILY FACE OR AN OILY PILLOWCASE? The oil left behind by fabric softeners and dryer sheets can also seep into your skin. Use a dryer ball instead.
So, if you haven’t changed your pillowcase recently, maybe it’s time. It just might be a skin-saver!.

BEAUTY SLEEP IS IN YOUR FUTURE: HOW TO PREP FOR BED
Hey, sleepyhead! Yes, you — we see you’ve been dozing off on the couch, in your clothes, or someplace other than in your bed. Where’s your nightly routine?
What’s that? You don’t have one?
If you research it for even for a minute, you’ll see that a consistent bedtime pattern produces optimal sleep, which can affect pretty much every aspect of your life, including your health. All it takes is a bit of planning. Before you close your eyes, create a snooze-inducing sleep environment and you’ll wake feeling rested every morning, not to mention rested-looking. Take out your bullet journal to track your progress and let’s get cozy!
How to Create a Nighttime Ritual
First things first — avoid caffeine, heavy meals and intense exercise three hours before you go to sleep. While caffeine is obvious, a full tummy and sweat session also stimulate body functions, making it harder to wind down. Herbal tea can be part of any nighttime ritual and enjoying it at approximately the same time every night, your body and mind will start to recognize it as a signal to relax.
We’re all familiar with “endless-scroll syndrome” — that gripping desire to find the non-existent bottom of your Twitter feed or watch just one more episode on Netflix. Phones, laptops, TVs, and tablets all emit blue light that suppresses melatonin, an essential hormone for quality sleep.
Instead, turn off your devices at least an hour before bed, two is even better. All it takes is one provocative news article to rev up your mind. And try sleeping with your phone in another room, just try it! It’s also a reason to use black-out shades to create a dark sleeping environment.
Skincare at Night
Like your mind and body, skin rejuvenates itself during deep sleep. (It’s called beauty sleep for a reason.) If you care about your complexion, stick to your nightly Regimen. If you’re just starting, it looks like this:
- Take off your makeup! Sleeping with the day’s grime, including 18-hour old makeup, is just not good for your skin. Try ESSENTIALS Instant Makeup Remover Wipes and ESSENTIALS Complete Eye Makeup Remover to get the gunk off first.
- Wash your face and follow the rest of your Regimen steps. Using products in the right order is a ritual in and of itself, one that gives skin exactly what it needs so you can see the results you want.
- Try our bubbling REDEFINE Rejuvenation Mask after your cleanser. It refreshes tired skin while Jojoba beads exfoliate for a radiant, clean feeling. Use up to three nights a week.
- Any skin type can benefit from Active Hydration Serum, which attracts moisture to hydrate skin. Use between Step 2 and Step 3 of your Regimen (SOOTHE users, apply between Steps 1 and 2). If you have oily or combination skin, try this at night. Those with dry skin can apply it both in the AM and PM.
- Finally, apply R+F Lash Boost every night for obsession-worthy lashes! Simply glide over your upper lash lines. And remember, less is more!
We strive to make skincare simple. Following your Regimen steps gives structure to a nighttime routine, which can improve sleep. Benefits of deep, rejuvenating rest are substantial. Start sleeping like a pro tonight — and waking up to the best skin of your life every morning.

The Eyes Have It: How To Get A Youthful Rested Look
Sure, they may be the window to your soul, but your eyes are also the gateway to your age. And your health, how much sleep you get, whether you wear sunscreen or not and how many cocktails you may or may not have consumed last night. In short, your eyes give you away. The skin around your eyes is more delicate than on the other areas of your body. So it’s more susceptible to damage caused by environmental exposure, like sun, stress, lack of sleep, squinting, rubbing and life in general.
Aging and the Eyes
We all age, and sometimes the expression lines around our eyes seem to appear overnight. But the aging process is personal, meaning we all have our own set of circumstances — from genetics to behaviors to habits, including smoking and how much time we spend in the sun — that determine how youthful and vibrant our eyes (and we) look.
And we all get tired. That dull, faraway look we get from too much fun and too little sleep is real.
R+F Skincare for the Eye Area
The good news is there’s skincare to help address the tell-tale signs of puffiness, dryness, fine lines and expression lines, especially when used preventatively. Rodan + Fields offers two eye products that can be used alone or together, REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream and Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex. So, which is for what?
REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream tackles signs of aging by minimizing the appearance of fine lines and expression lines and firming the under-eye area with powerful Peptides. It’s incredibly moisturizing and a fan favorite.
Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex targets the thin, fragile skin around the eyes, often the first place to show signs of stress and fatigue. The gel cream formula illuminates, soothes, hydrates and brightens for a more rested look. Over time, Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex improves the appearance of dry skin around the eyes and under-eye puffiness. It contains our 3D3P Molecular Matrix, which is a powerful hydrator.
And yes, if you have all of these concerns, you can use both with any Regimen. For optimal results, layer Multi-Function Eye Cream over Bright Eye Complex and use every morning and night.
Tips and Tricks
In addition to a consistent skincare routine around your eyes, there are a few other things you can do. Sleeping on your back with your head raised above your heart can help alleviate under-eye bags. And if you’re waking up with that not-so-bright-eyed look, take an honest look at what you are eating (and drinking!) that could be contributing to visible eye area concerns, such as salty foods, caffeine and alcohol.
And then there’s always the best trick of all for eyes: Close them and go to sleep.
